Johnny’s Fried Chicken & Comida HispanaBronx Fried Chicken & Dominican Food Done Right
If you’re looking for bold, soulful flavor and food that feels like home, you’re in the right place. At Johnny’s Fried Chicken & Comida Hispana, we’ve been feeding the Bronx since 1994 with a mix of crispy fried chicken and authentic Dominican dishes that hit the spot every single time. We’re proud to be a family-owned restaurant rooted right here in the Bronx, serving up everything from juicy rotisserie chicken to hearty stews, rice and beans, and fresh Dominican juices.
And located in the heart of our vibrant borough, we’ve become a trusted neighborhood staple — whether you’re swinging by for takeout, ordering delivery to your apartment, or planning a catered meal for the whole block. We’re not a chain, and we’re not about fast food gimmicks. We’re about flavor, tradition, and feeding our community the right way — fresh, hot, and full of love.
Our Signature Fried & Rotisserie Chicken
We built our name on chicken — and for good reason. Our fried chicken is golden, seasoned to perfection, and crisp in all the right ways. Whether you want wings, drumsticks, or a whole bird to split with the family, we’ve got it fresh and ready for pickup or delivery. Prefer something slow-roasted and juicy? Our rotisserie chicken is just as popular, marinated and roasted until it’s tender enough to fall apart with a fork.
Bronx fried chicken is a whole vibe, and we’ve been doing it longer than most. Come taste why Johnny’s has been a go-to spot for over 30 years. And yes — bone-in or boneless chicharrón de pollo lovers, we’ve got you covered.
Dominican Food in Bronx, NY Straight from the Island to the Borough
For many of our customers, Dominican food isn’t just a meal — it’s a reminder of home, of family, of tradition. And we take that seriously. From slow-simmered stews to rich, flavorful soups, our menu is packed with authentic dishes that reflect the heart of the Dominican Republic.
You’ll find classics like pollo guisado (chicken stew), carne guisada (beef stew), cerdo guisado (pork stew), and the ever-popular rabo guisado (oxtail). Feeling something even heartier? Our chivo guisado (goat stew) and mondongo (tripe soup) are packed with bold seasonings and plenty of soul. And if you’re craving comfort in a bowl, our Dominican soup (sancocho) and chicken soup (sopa de pollo) will warm you up on even the coldest Bronx winter afternoon.
And don’t forget the essentials: rice and beans (arroz con habichuelas), plátanos maduros (sweet plantains), yuca (cassava), and green bananas (guineos verdes) — they’re not just sides, they’re part of the experience.
Takeout, Delivery & Catering Built for the Bronx Lifestyle
Life moves fast in the Bronx, and we get it. That’s why Johnny’s specializes in takeout and local delivery. Whether you’re grabbing lunch on your break, picking up dinner for the family, or ordering something late-night to satisfy a craving, we’ll have it hot and ready when you need it.
We’re also here when you’ve got more mouths to feed. Hosting a birthday party, family gathering, or office lunch? Let us handle the cooking. Our catering service brings the same quality and variety you get at the counter — just scaled up for your event. From trays of fried chicken to gallons of morir soñando, we’ve got the Bronx covered.
Sweet Treats, Sides & Sips
We don’t believe in letting you leave without something sweet. Our homemade desserts bring that rich, traditional flavor that only comes from scratch recipes. Whether it’s creamy flan, airy tres leches, or one of our dulces (cherry, papaya, or orange), every bite feels like a celebration.
Looking for a side to round out your plate? You’ll find empanadas, fried yams (batata frita), pastelón de plátano maduro, and Dominican-style French fries (papas fritas). And don’t sleep on our salads — fresh green salad, creamy potato salad, or seafood salad—all made fresh in-house.
To wash it all down? Our fresh juices are a Bronx favorite. We serve passion fruit (chinola), pineapple (piña), lemonade (limonada), and our signature morir soñando — a smooth, sweet blend of orange juice, milk, sugar, and vanilla that you just have to try.
A Local Favorite, A Family Tradition
Since 1994, our mission has been simple: serve our Bronx neighbors with food that’s real, fresh, and made with care. We’re not trying to be trendy. We’re just doing what we’ve always done — cooking meals the way our parents and grandparents did and staying true to our roots.
Over the years, we’ve watched kids grow up coming through our doors, families ordering the same meals every Sunday, and neighbors bringing out-of-towners in just to give them a taste of what the Bronx really eats. We’re grateful for the loyalty, the love, and the shared moments around our food—and we’re proud to keep doing it day in and day out.

“Best fried chicken in NYC! The food is delicious and affordable, the staff is super friendly, and the location is clean. I have been coming here for years. I moved out of the city and now live in Westchester. However, I travel over 40 minutes to get food from here every few weeks. It’s worth the trip! Make sure to stop by and try the best chicken in town.”
